I get the impression that Brian talks (and is 'in the room' as his attention span goes) when the subject matter is interesting to him, and that talking about broadly the same topics he has for 50 years isn't interesting to him. Brian is a rich man, and unlike most of us, doesn't have to pretend to be interested in things he isn't for money.

I kinda got that impression from him when Jason asked him about POB, he started singing parts of "You and I" and got really happy

Got tickets for the Glasgow show, can't wait!

Were Dennis and Terry still friends after the Manson episode?

Since Ron's problem with me is primarily connected to my posting a one-star rating on Amazon after only reading one chapter of the book, I think that everyone on this site who has read the entire book should go on Amazon and post their own rating. 

Of course, Ron only thinks the ratings are legitimate if the reviewer gives the book 5 stars. 

You're correct, read the full thing then give a review 

To me that Cover Album is is disgrace.  The Original Album of Dennis Wilson should not be touched. I love his music and I want that so I can treasure it in memory of Dennis Wilson

It's a compliment to Dennis and his music more than anything else IMO

Found this interesting... https://www.nbcsandiego.com/blogs/sounddiego/From-SD-to-Local-Natives-Chewing-Releases-Dennis-Wilson-Cover-Album-Pacific-Ocean-Blues-Beach-Boys-Turntable-Kitchen-The-Howls-Cults-Pop-Etc-Nico-Segal-Nik-Ewing-505794731.html

It's bad craic reviewing a book 1 star when you haven't even read the thing... regardless if you read 1 chapter or not

Congrats

I always thought Dennis would have done a good cover of "Sweet Emotion" - pre raspy voice

Great topic, Al's very underrated!

Me too. The postage to the UK was astronomical but here’s hoping there’s a cheaper method this time.

I need this book in my life!

Did Ken get back to you, shipping price to Scotland is the same.  I'll probably bite the bullet and buy it anyway

I've messaged Ken, the price of shipping put me off a little bit last time but we shall see this time!

I hope there wasn't any mention of Dennis and Manson

What was the reason/s that Rick Fataar and Blondie Chaplin left the group?

Is there any footage of the fight that happened on stage?

Dennis, potentially could have been a lot closer to Brian if he didn't go off the rails

The Albums a bit meh for me...

I voted for The Beach Boys, Eagles, CCR, Pearl Jam and the Ramones.


I thought the Beach Boys would have had a lot more votes.  Aren't The Beach Boys massive in the States?

Great song!

Cousin,
I know what it's like to have the (Wilson) back gene. I am sympathetic and empathetic, as I myself have had back problems as early as junior high. I hope one day we'll be able to do something like this again; great memories. Looking forward to perhaps one day throwing some hoops. Feel better soon Brian.
Love, your cousin,
Mike 

Nice message from Mike on his Facebook, he posted this along with the picture of he and Brian playing basketball.

He tweeted it as well, pretty cool from him

I like Full Sail, but it doesn't fit in the album, sounds more like a song from the Holland album

confirmed for the Edinburgh Summer Sessions on the 19th August, excellent!!

Angel Come Home, Love the chorus, Dennis kills it

Someone post the John Cena Meme, quick!

Honestly, the photo they created of Dennis looks a lot like how he did in ‘83. His face seemed to harden up in the 80’s. Just an observation, not a put-down..

I know where you're coming from, from 1980 onwards he looked a lot older than what he actually was
